Can anyone recommend a pub for a post run pint somewhere near the finish that opens at 11?

You could do a lot worse than Wetherspoons West Street at that time of day. Could do a lot better too! But not sure if many others will be open at that time excluding the Bat & Ball which would be interesting!

I'm all prepared for the big day, I'm hoping for 1:30 tomorrow, whether that's enough to take the NSC Gold again or not, that would be a real boost to my confidence. I'm not feeling it right now, I've felt heavy legged all week and short on pace and stamina, we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Thought it might be a West St option, that’ll do the job though, thanks

I did 1.34 last year so let’s bring it
I will be in the blue Albion training top

I didn't see anyone at the end, or start, and had to make a bit of a breakaway. I woke up at 8:35, got down there for 9:05 so started with the 2 hour people. My splits are up on Strava, I ran a solid enough race and steady splits other than the first mile of 7:29 and ran a time of something like 1:31:21.

I get the impression it won't be enough for the Gold, but I'm hoping for a podium spot!
